Hi Luis and all,

Thanks for the meeting today, hopefully useful for all concerned. In response to some of that discussion, I’d just include this link:

https://www.w3.org/wiki/Accessibility_testing#When_should_testing_be_done.3F <https://www.w3.org/wiki/Accessibility_testing#When_should_testing_be_done.3F>

and specifically in regards to accessibiity:

When should testing be done?
“Test early, test often” is an old software engineering saying. Tacking on testing at the end of the development process has two risks:

Projects tend to run over-time and over-budget. Testing is often rushed, omitted, or ignored thanks to such pressures.
It is more work to fix problems discovered late in a process than to do things right from the start.
So to ensure quality and save time and money, accessibility evaluations should start right at the beginning of product design and be included in subsequent development iterations through to final delivery.

In short, the only way to ensure good accessibility for the disabled community - and all those outside of it who would benefit - is to have representatives from these communities implicated from the beginning.

Regards

Peter Crosbie
DCAD
